I‘m like somebody who has gone to see the Madurai temple and keeps telling to whoever comes to look at this statue, that statue and the other. The chances are I may never get an opportunity to go into the temple myself and stand before the sanctum sanctorum, but my delight is to describe this, draw people’s attention to this. Ultimately, you have to get into the sanctum sanctorum and stand before the Divine. This is the invitation.

There are fake and false persons who imitate spirituality, who unfortunately can damage faith and lull the soul. It is important to distinguish these and know the subtle reasons and the forces working behind them.

This morning my prayer rises to Thee, always with the same aspiration: to live Thy love, to radiate Thy love, with such potency and effectiveness that all may feel fortified, regenerated and illumined by our contact.
